The lnter-Sta Commerce Law.
The following interrogatory comes to
j;s from Buckingham county:

Tho following interrogatory comes to
Us from buckingham county:
New CANTON, VA, Nov. 5, 1887.
70 the kditor Of the Dispatch:
Please inform us through your col
Umns as TO whether the Interstate
commerce bill passed by the last Con-
Pross has any effect upon the rates
charged on freight by the Richmond and
Allegheny road or any other road that
does not run out OF the State in which it
is chartered and oblige.
Yours very respectfully,
w. l.. PUTNEY,
w. j. A. GOoDE.
We should have answered unhesi-
tatingly in the negative week ago.
but we have within the last few days re-
cciyod pamphlet copy of the opinion
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the case of DAVID +. ALLEN and
EpwAED \. ALLEN rs. The Louisville,
New Albany and Chicago Railroad Com
Tny, which opinion contains the follow
Jug:
"Ihcse are eases in which carrier
may rc bound for some purposes by the
v.. established over connecting lines,
even though it has not directly united
with such connecting lines in making
them. 6uch case was before the com
mission IN the Vermont State Grange
as. The Boston and Lowell Railroad
Company ~ ai, in which one of the de-
;enlants shared long rates which
were lower than the short-haul rates
which il charged on its own road cOnsti-
tGtilg pat of the long-haul line. =
Nhc commission held that the carrier,
exclusively responsible for them, was
not entitled when fixing them 10
make them greater than the long haul
rates in which itputicipated with others,
unless ease was made ont Of dissimilar
circumstances and conditions. Partici-
putting Din tine long-haul rates, it was held,
made them under ne statute a maximum
limit for short haul rates to be imposed
on It's own line, and made the short
haul rates illegal when the limit was ex
ceaded.
That opinion reads to us as if the
interstate law had been made an intra-
State commerce law 10y the action of the
Iutor-S ate Commission. In word, let
us say 10y way OF illustration, it seems to
mean that if the Richmond and
Allegheny road participates in long haul
rates with a railroad outside of Virginia
81 thereby makes these rates ga maxi
mum limit for snort haul rates to be
imposp1 on its own line"
